Thanks Joe,

That is very interesting! I always have been a little bit reluctant to use 'cmake', as it did not exist on all platforms. And back then it didn't always work the way it was supposed to.

But now, after more than 10 years, things probably have changed.

So for me, it works as you described, and I am thinking how we can make use of it, next to the existing 'make' of course

Best regards
Peter

Hello Peter
(and all forum users)
I have been testing your fossil betas
you have been very busy hard to keep up!
I'm happy with all the bacon progress
and the lexer has improved the bacon code


cmake does a lot of work for us
but then again its a lot of reading and
experimenting to get something done

I automated the build to just one command

./setup

and tried to give some order to the file placement

still a very long way to go ( to feel comfortable with this)
but its getting easier to get some basic things done

Joe



==========================================================

now have the installer working
here I will confirm it works if you want to skip this step

Hello

This time a full install and uninstall
documentation ,syntax,icons

this is using the beta as of bacon-47425a79fe

this only has bacon
I want to separate the 3 builds
bacon ,bacongui-fltk , bacongui-gtk

into stand alone builds
to test what's needed by cmake
and get familiar with the syntax

[vovchik]

Dear Joe,

I just tested and am pleased to report that it works as advertised. Thanks.

With kind regards,
vovchik

[bigbass]

Hello vovchik

Thanks for testing and the feedback

Joe

[bigbass]

Hello

these are the finals
I went back and made bacon the primary package
which will install the docs and syntax and icons

bacongui-gtk and bacongui-fltk
will only install the binaries and desktop files

this way you can safely uninstall bacongui-gtk or bacongui-fltk
and not have any missing files for bacon

all three packages now have debian package makers and rpm
if needed


I am happy we have cmake to install and build packages
and it was fun doing that for bacon and bacon apps

updated to remove escapes

[vovchik]

Dear Joe,

I am getting this:

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:182 (SET):
 Syntax error in cmake code at

   /home/vovchik/Downloads/bacon/CMAKE_BACON-4.3.0/CMakeLists.txt:182

 when parsing string

   Author Peter van Eerten \<[e-mail]\>  cmake package maintainer bigbass \<[e-mail]\>

 Invalid escape sequence \<


-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!


If I eliminate all the backslashes and <>, everything builds OK.

With kind regards,
vovchik

[bigbass]

Hello vovchik


thanks for testing and the feedback

must be a problem with a different make version
anyway we can remove the escapes and that should be fine

we need the <> its one of the many things debian asks to conform to the package rules
www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#s-f-maintainer


I updated my prior post please let me know if all is well


later you can check the package install(s)
dpkg -l | grep "bacon"


thanks again vovchik

I forgot to say that I added "dependencies" to the bacon build

cmake .

cmake --build .
Scanning dependencies of target bacon
[ 50%] Building C object CMakeFiles/bacon.dir/src/bacon.bac.c.o

then I double click the deb


will do this for bacongui gtk and fltk

[vovchik]

Dear Joe,

Thanks for the fix/mod. Everything builds and the deb gets created.

With kind regards,

Hello

of course use the official package
We now have an official 4.3
using fossil or src build
www.basic-converter.org/

I have tested every beta version from fossil
and this 4.3 version has many improvements over 4.2 stable

============================

this below is 4.3 stable
but it is now 100% cmake and no bash code either
the part that is different is there is no bacon dependency
this means if you don't have any bacon installed
this builds from cmake and no conversion time from bacon.sh
it is pure c code and headers but cmake does all the work
of generating the make and the deb or rpm packages


it is another final test that bacon is truly
a basic to c converter

we usually have a bacon version installed and
don't see the difference in the setup time process

This really started because I just wanted to
get a better understanding of how cmake works
and it grew into testing bacon with it

RASPBERRY pi3 deb package (save a little time)



see how cmake works using a real world example "bacon"
